FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye left Sunday's game against the New York Jets in the first half with a concussion after an unpenalized helmet-to-helmet hit while he slid to the turf after an 18-yard scramble.
Coach Jerod Mayo said he saw Maye at halftime and “the competitor that he is, obviously he wanted to go back out there and play.”
“But there’s a protocol that he has to go through,” Mayo said. “Can’t wait to get him back.”
Drafted with the third overall pick of the draft, Maye started his third straight game. He scored New England’s first touchdown against the Jets, a 17-yard rush that saw him beat New York linebacker Chazz Surratt to the corner of the end zone.
